In the study, patients who have been suffering severe eczema for two years or longer were given two creams to apply to affected areas- one containing vitamin B12, and another a placebo. None of the patients was able to distinguish between the two ointments, and was told to place one cream on one side of the body, and another on the other side.

Several weeks later, by the end of the study, the majority of eczema sufferers rated the vitamin B12 lotion as extremely therapeutic in alleviating pain, itching, and dry skin, while about half of the participants studied reported minimal improvement from the placebo cream.

Furthermore, the vitamin B12 topical cream provided no allergic reactions in any of the patients, making it a safe, gentle choice for treating dermatitis without any side effects. It has been used to treat babies, children, teens and adults with great results.

Conversely, some prescriptions used to alleviate eczema, such as steroids, have harmful side effects, including increased risk for skin cancer and hormonal imbalances leading to infertility.
